Miniaturisation drives product evolution and product revolution. TTP expands the possibilities by means of novel sensing and actuation methods and the associated microfabrication processes. printer-friendly page   TTP develops low-cost, micro-devices used in a wide range of applications including pumps for air and fluids.  Advanced actuators have been developed based upon, for example, piezoelectric and shape memory alloy technologies.     Microfluidics in action: mixing and separation of fluids on a micron scale. TTP uses experimentation and computational fluid dynamics to design novel microfluidic structures.     TTP creates new manufacturing processes and systems using lasers.  For example, TTP has developed systems and processes for the fabrication of micro and nano-structures using lasers.  This technology can improve production methods and create new product opportunities in many markets including pharmaceuticals and healthcare. TTP's proprietary electronic atomiser technology employs a low-cost microdevice to generate precisely controlled droplets from bulk liquids without the use of prpellants.  This technology has broad application including consumer products, drug delivery and fine powder formation of pharmaceuticals.
